Paradise Trout Preserve, established in 1902, is Pennsylvania's first licensed trout hatchery. A park setting, with 2 ponds that are stocked with healthy, farm-raised trout and bass, provides a great deal of fishing fun! Our larger pond is stocked with trout (rainbow, brown, brook, golden, and tiger) and our smaller pond is stocked with largemouth bass. You will not need a fishing license. Pole rentals, bait, tackle, ice, and snacks are available at our store. Fish gutting and filleting is offered on the premises. Self-guided hatchery tours are also a fun and educational activity for all ages. At Paradise, you can see the life-cycle of hatchery fish from the farm to the dinner table. Open early April through the middle of October. We also sell live fish for stocking ponds! See our website
